Well, if the daughter (and the mom) had been carrying their own guns, this wouldn't have happened, now would it? He probably only felt empowered to do this because he knew they WEREN'T armed and were therefore easy victims. Remember: an armed society is a polite society. I'm glad we can have situations like this crop up every now and then to serve as just illustrations of that very important point.

Bartashevitch admitted having a physical confrontation with his wife and daughter, and admitted to pointing the gun at both of them. He said the gun was not loaded and that he checked the chamber before pointing it at them.

You know, if we needed to at least pass a licensing exam to get weapon, like we do a car, these guy would know that:1) A gun is ALWAYS loaded.2) See # 13) Did you see #1 yet? If not, see #1

Thank you. This can't be stated enough. And don't ever point it at anything you aren't willing to destroy.

So. He grabbed his gun during an argument, and made sure it was not loaded (yes, I know they're all loaded, bear with me) and then pointed it at his wife and daughter? What exactly was the point he was trying to make? The whole reason a gun exists is to shoot something so if you make sure that that gun can't shoot, what, exactly, are you trying to convey by pointing an unloaded gun at someone? If you get one more B I'll load this gun and then shoot you?

This here is a fine example of someone who is too stupid to own a firearm. Bought the gun because he thought the "gub'mint" was going to ban it, and pointed it in his daughter's face for bringing home two B's instead of straight A's.

Take THAT man's gun and beat him upside the head with it......then don't give it back.

4) Do you still want to point the gun at someone just to scare them? Don't cause it could be loaded

However a license does not mean that you will get responsible ownership. See car ownership.

LOL! She must have got lessons from my ex. All she needs is some fast food in her left hand.

At any rate, and in all seriousness, this is insane. What responsible gun owner, let alone decent human parent, would threaten their OWN CHILD with a rifle. Period. At the very least, it's the basic definition of emotional abuse, and probably an indicator that something else non-kosher is going on in the house.

People like this need to be beat upside the head (Sorry, your rights end where my nose begins logic on this one. You do not have the right to threaten a CHILD with a rifle because of their freakin' report card) and be mandated to seek mental health evaluation and care.

In all seriousness, coming from someone who sees a lot of abused kids come through, if that dad is willing to threaten his daughter at gunpoint for something, he's willing and probably in the current act of harming her in some other fashion, physically or emotionally. It's not really a stretch to assume or intervene with an investigation.

If no car can go over 20 miles an hour than there would be fewer fatalities. I mean do you really need to go 40 miles an hour?! And while we are at it lets limit the gear ratios on bicycles! We really need to limit those as well. If it will just save one life how could we not?!

To be fair, it's a lot harder to get an aortic sheer at 20 miles an hour. Or turn a pedestrian into a buff of pink mist.

We already do regulate cars. They have to have things like break lights for instance. Cars manufactured after certain dates must have airbags, anti-lock brakes and such.

Well, if you are crazy enough to think you are going to overthrow the government or that anyone would want gun nuts to overthrow the government then you probably shouldn't be trusted with a donkey and cart either.
